Once more!

ITV has removed Coronation Street from its programming, but the reason is not what you might expect.
Craig and Lisa were probably browsing through the TV guide when they came across this snap. Unfortunately, it seems that Coronation Street won't be airing tonight on ITV. Before you jump to conclusions, let us clarify that it's not because of any football coverage. The show has been replaced by the National Television Awards, which will be hosted by the hilarious Joel Dommett. This year, Coronation Street is in the running for the best serial drama award, competing against other top shows like Emmerdale, EastEnders, Hollyoaks, and Casualty. Many of the soap stars have also been nominated for best serial drama performance, including Peter Ash, who played Paul Foreman, and David Neilson, who played Roy Cropper.

It's a big deal for Peter, especially since his character sadly passed away in Monday's episode after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The episode was truly heartbreaking, and we saw Paul's condition deteriorate over the course of 18 months, from losing his mobility to struggling to speak. And there's more heartache to come, as Paul's husband Billy rushes to be by his side, only to find out that he's already passed away. As Billy tries to catch his breath, he calls Paul's phone to speak with him, not knowing that Bernie had mistakenly told him that Paul was still alive and listening. But we'll have to wait until Friday to see how this all plays out.

On Friday's episode, Tracy has to make a tough decision about her future in Spain, while Dorin and Ruby go missing. Meanwhile, Billy wakes up on the sofa and is faced with the reality that his beloved Paul is no longer with him. The family is struggling with the loss, but will they be able to come together and support each other? In another part of town, Tracy has to make a decision about her relationship with Tommy, and Tyrone is worried when he can't find his children, Ruby and Dorin, in the backyard of No. 9.
